NEW SURVEY
Campus Antisemitism: A Study of Campus Climate Before and After the Hamas Terrorist Attacks
The ADL Center for Antisemitism Research (CAR), Hillel International, and College Pulse conducted a longitudinal survey of American college students before and after the Hamas terror attacks on October 7, 2023. The topline results, presented in this report, highlight concerning trends that underscore the urgent need to protect Jewish students on campus and foster an inclusive and safe educational environment for all.

The CAR Approach to Antisemitism Research
CAR aims to diagnose the causes of antisemitism and apply what we learn through practical on-the-ground efforts – by ADL and our communal partners – to decrease antisemitism in communities in the U.S. and around the world. CAR looks to answer both longstanding and new questions about how to quantify, understand, reduce and prevent antisemitism.
What prevents and reduces antisemitism?
- Developing and testing ways to challenge antisemitism for ideological, interpersonal, institutional and internalized manifestations
- Tracking and assessing the impact of these tactics
What causes antisemitism?
- Testing the theories
- Understanding the perpetrators
- Following the progression of attitudes to actions
How does antisemitism spread?
- Investigating the cultural formations of antisemitism
- Quantifying the impact of antisemitism on Jewish communities and society
- Understanding the differences and overlap of antisemitism among different groups and ideologies
CAR’s Applied Research Network
We catalyze and conduct scholarly investigation into key areas on antisemitism by sponsoring fellowships and grants, conducting ADL’s own empirical research and organizing speaker series and publications. We have partnerships with nearly a dozen research institutes and universities across the globe.
